I want to create user by external (and automated) process (eg: an "Admin Panel") for my customer.

Running

killall -USR2 openvpn

dumps the connected users to the log file.

Remember to use 'clog' to access the log file /var/log/openvpn.log.

THe best way I found for interacting with the configurationis using something like fauxAPI (https://github.com/ndejong/pfsense_fauxapi), which adds REST API capabilties to pfSense.
I don't think is supported and consistent through updates, but the project seems alive.

What exactly are you wanting to access?
